Dennis...get some lessons first , before you do anything. A good instructor will answer all your questions. And those kites are kind of big...could be dangerous...

Brad is right...as a novice you need to know what is going on...and before you even start thinking about tackling big waves you need to master some basic skills!

Take lessons and spare yourself potential disaster. Especially in a place like Peru...a minor accident there can turn into a major ordeal medically and financially. You may want to consider travel/evac insurance...but at minimum the first logical and easiest step is to take lessons from pro, have the proper gear, and know how to use it.

good luck with it...you will have an amazing time in Peru. I hope to get down there this year myself.

Dennis,
I assume you are going to be Kiting at Santa Marianita in Manta, Ecuador?
I use to work there myself as the Site Manager back in 2002-2006 with the FOL. I enjoyed every moment I spent there. You probably already know the spot near Manta. It awesome and the winds begin in May all the way to December. Check out Wladimir while you are there. He will definitely help you out on your progression and at a nice low price.
